Let’s basketball.
Scores
Bulls 106, Bucks 122 — This dude must be living right.
The Bucks, too, are living better, winners of four in five (the loss being a robbery against Charlotte) and back into the top 10 in the East. Giannis Antetokounmpo has a case for a spot on the early MVP ballot.
has a devastating comparison for the nascent Josh Giddey era.
Pelicans 100, Cavaliers 128 — That’s more like it! Shout out to Jaylon Tyson, making his first start for the Cavaliers with all of the wings on ice. 16 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals. Just how deep are the Cavaliers?!
On the other side, even Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy III sat on Wednesday. Antonio Reeves, a rookie who turned 24 on Wednesday, took 25 shots. This season is just an unmitigated disaster. What do you even do at this point?
